"Completely irresponsible!"
"Hahaha, I burned a thing…"
"Not to mention illegal!"
"YOU'RE legal, you…"
"What is Tenzin going to say about this? Did you even consider that?"
"Did you even considfler with the wadflaopr?"
"Don't you-wait, what?"
She was met with a fit of giggles from the young Avatar.
"Why am I even talking to you. You're drunk off your sorry ass." She mumbled. She fumed in silence for a few minutes while she dragged a very drunk Korra to a holding cell.
The Chief had received a call at the station about a bar fight. She would have just sent a patrol officer, but the caller made a point to tell her that it was the Avatar. She'd wanted to deal with it herself. Apparently, letting the Avatar off the hook after her first round of random destruction had been a mistake.
But when she showed up, she found the girl drunk. Not only was she underage (for which the owner had received a citation and faced losing his business license) but she was the Avatar. Whether she respected the title or not, the Chief knew what it entailed. People were always watching her. She was supposed to be the embodiment of all spiritual wisdom, as much as the thought made the Chief laugh. She was supposed to at least try to live up to that.
"Look, kid," she said, sighing. "I know you won't remember me saying any of this in the morning, but…" she stopped in front of the cell, spinning the girl around to face her. "You need to be careful. I know you're young. I know you haven't had a chance to be young. But that is no excuse for what happened tonight!" She pinched the bridge of her nose. She then looked at Korra, trying her best to glare through her drunken fog to get the message through to her.
"This city will eat you alive if you let it. Neither side of this revolution wants to see you show weakness. Doing things like this…you're going to give people a chance to hurt you. So don't let this happen again, understand?"
Korra stared at her, confused. Then she looked intently at her hands before laughing. "I can't… feel my fingers…"
"Okay." The Chief grabbed her wrist and opened the cell door. "Sit here and wait for Tenzin to bail you out. He can deal with you."
